Can PIH (Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation) Be Fixed?
Yes, PIH can be treated and significantly improved with the right approach. Treatments include topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and sun protection to prevent further darkening. Time and consistency also play a big role, as PIH gradually fades with care. At Derma Redefined, Dr. Sampurna designs customized treatment plans to safely target dark spots, restore even skin tone, and boost confidence. With advanced dermatological solutions, PIH doesn’t have to be a long-term concern—effective care can bring visible improvements.
Understanding the Symptoms of PIH
PIH often shows up as flat, dark spots or patches left behind after acne breakouts, rashes, cuts, or skin irritation. These marks can feel frustrating, especially when they linger long after the skin has healed. It’s natural to feel self-conscious, but remember, you are not alone. Many people experience PIH, and it does not define your skin’s health or beauty. The good news is that with patience, sun protection, and professional treatments, these marks can fade, helping your skin look clearer and brighter again.
